Dear Friends,

Klezmer music is noted for its joyous melodies. One cannot hear the sounds of Klezmer without feeling the urge to dance (think “Hava Nagilla”).  At HCRJ, we are beginning to associate the joyful sound of Klezmer with the joys of Torah as well, as for the third year in a row, our Simchat Torah celebration will be coupled with a magical world of Klezmer music.

Join us for a very special Simchat Torah service this Friday night as we finish the final words of the Torah and immediately begin anew, symbolically affirming our people’s eternal devotion to the teachings of our faith. Immediately following services will be a world class oneg and Klezmer concert for all to enjoy.  This evening of celebration is appropriate for all ages.

L’Shalom-Steve
